Online Tutorial: Piezoacoustic Optimization

Tomorrow, December 18th, we are holding an online tutorial on piezoacoustic optimization. The tutorial will run for about half an hour starting at 12:30pm Pacific Standard Time (PST). If you are already familiar with the piezoacoustic transducer model in the model library, you should tune in for this further-developed version of the model.

A piezoacoustics transducer model, which includes acoustic-structure interaction with the mounting structure and a directional tube.

The online tutorial will cover an introduction to COMSOL and the piezoacoustic transducer model, followed by a live model set-up. My colleague, John Dunec, has extended upon previous models by simulating a piezoacoustics transducer in the real setting of a loudspeaker. He will also show you how the Optimization Module can be used to find the ideal depth for the appropriate frequency.

I’m sorry but there are no free downloads of version 4.2a. But you are more than welcome to contact your local office:http://www.comsol.com/contact/
to see what they can offer you.

Hello,
Thank you so much for nice presentation. I am interested to know about the impedance of piezo. If I want to plot 1D fig. of Impedance vs. Freq, then what is the expression for impedance.
How can I write the expression for impedance of piezo in Comsol 4.3a?

Thanks
Bhuyan

Hi Bhuyan,

Piezo devices can often be driven using a Terminal condition. If you set it up to apply a charge, the impedance will automatically be available as pzd.Z11. If you apply a voltage instead, you get its inverse, the admittance. In that case, you can evaluate the impedance as 1/pzd.Y11.

I hope this is applicable to your situation. If not, or if you have any further questions, feel free to contact our support service:
